Subject: [Leica] 8 bit vs. 16 bit B&W files
From: rclompus@cox.net

I have another question for those who have already made the 
transition to digital B&W printing.  

Can you obtain good B&W prints working with 8 bit files compared 
to 16 bit files?  Now that I've purchased and registered Photoshop 
Elements 2.0, I have found that it only works with 8 bit B&W files.  If 
I use the Epson 2200 printer, am I limiting the output quality?  The 
person who advised me to just bite the bullet and buy Photoshop 7 
may turn out to be sage wisdom.  

Thanks.

Richard
